Best Picture Oscarwinner by reaching out to Sylvester Stallone himself, Chuck was alsoincreasing his selfish behaviors, using cocaine and pursuing even morewomen, including a local bartender named Linda (Naomi Watts), whodidn't want anything to do with him.

Then. Wepner gets a phone call that some guy in Hollywood is making a movieinspired by Wepner's story.. What happens next? To tell you more ofthe plot would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to seefor yourself how it all plays out.
Couple of comments: this isn't the first movie about Wepner's lifestory, in fact ESPN made a documentary about it for its 3. Strange Weather (2017) Movie Theatre. For 3. 0series. But this is not a documentary.
While the movie is directed by. Canadian director Philippe Falardeau, best known for his movie. Schreiberbrings one of his very best performances of his career (and that issaying something). On top of that he co- produced and co- wrote themovie. If you are expecting a sports movie, you will be sorelydisappointed, as this far more a character study (and a flawedcharacter at that).
The 1. 97. 0s are brought to life with a perfectlymatching soundtrack and production set (were the city centers really asrun down as they are shown here?). The movie sports an all- star cast: besides Schreiber, we see Naomi Watts (unrecognizable as Wepner's loveinterest Linda- -it wasn't until the end credits rolled I realized itwas her), Ron Perlman (as Wepner's boxing manager) and Elisabeth Mossas Wepner's wife Phyllis), just to name those. It may be difficult toseparate the unlikely Wepner life story from the movie's artisticvalue, but all I can say is that the movie flew by in no time for me,and that's always a good sign. The Saturday matin. Probably thepicture- perfect weather had something to so with it. Regardless,hopefully this movie will find a bigger audience on Amazon Instant.
Video and eventually on DVD/Blu- ray. It just shows Wepner as someone easilyimpressionable and immature, but who, in the ring, is determined to gothe distance, come hell or Muhammad Ali. Clearly, his marriage to Phyllis was an error and having a daughtereven more so because Wepner was completely absorbed in his boxingexploits, his side jobs, his sexual conquests and, ultimately, hisidentification with the tragic role played by Anthony Quinn in REQUIEMFOR A HEAVYWEIGHT, to the point of knowing his lines off by heart andfeeling that he shares something with that unfortunate soul; and hisfascination with the film, ROCKY, and its central character and risingmovie star Sylvester Stallone, to the point of celebrating that film's. Best Picture and Best Director awards as if they were his own, and ofalmost making Balboa his alter ego, all reflect his scatteredpersonality and weakness of purpose. That fascination with a celluloid, larger than life, hero also causeshim to jump the boundaries of safe life into the dangers of drugaddiction. I find the film brutally honest about that and about hisbreak- up with his wife, played with considerable aplomb and force by. Elisabeth Moss, as someone who refuses to be duped by the fake world ofboxing, movies, and other illusions entertained by Wepner.
The scene where Schreiber (Wepner) goes to his daughter's school andcompletely misses the plot, partly because he is under the influence ofdrugs, is a classic in its simplicity, truth, and quality of acting byall involved. Wepner's honesty about his boxing limitations is a point in his favor,and one that allows the viewer to develop some sympathy for the man.
I also found the Wepner- Stallone relationship very effectively andsuccinctly observed. Clearly, in real life Stallone is not the good guythat Balboa was.
Stallone did nothing to assist Wepner, with bail forinstance, when he was tried and jailed for drug possession. And yet. Stallone used Wepner as the source for his script of ROCKY, earningconsiderable fortune and fame as a result. The scene where Stallone isdoing press ups in the jail facility where Wepner is an inmate, all todo with ROCKY III and Balboa's descent from grace and into jail, isalso very effectively put across, with not a frame too many. Wepner's friend, John Stahl, clearly was not a good influence, and didnot mind riding his pal's wave of fame, womanizing, drug taking, and soforth, but never there when really needed, with any really helpfulcontribution.
He comes across as a party parasite with a sense ofhumor, and reminds you of just how dangerous such friendships can be. There are, however, characters who restore hope in mankind: Phyllis isa really good and caring wife, someone whose honesty and real love for. Wepner allow her to see that their relationship cannot go on, and hasthe courage to break it off; Linda, Wepner's second wife, is moredetached but has the right values. And Wepner earns our respect forseeing Stallone for what he is. Best of all, Wepner's brother, Donny, who steps in to help hisundeserving brother. He complains bitterly about Wepner's selfishness,but you wish everyone were as honest and caring, and this would be afar better world. Falardeau's direction is assured and extremely competent.
No fancycamera work, good use of boxing footage from the time, and he extractscredible and keenly felt performances from the entire cast.
